  4. Left-arm orthodox spin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-arm_orthodox_spin

    Left-arm orthodox spin bowlers generally attempt to drift the ball in the air into a right-handed batsman, and then turn it away from the batsman (towards off-stump) upon landing on the pitch. The drift and turn in the air are attacking techniques. The normal delivery of a left-arm orthodox spin bowler is the left-arm orthodox spinner. [2]

  5. Spin-1/2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-1/2

    When the probabilities are calculated, the −1 is squared, (−1) 2 = 1, so the predicted physics is the same as in the starting position. Also, in a spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ particle there are only two spin states and the amplitudes for both change by the same −1 factor, so the interference effects are identical, unlike the case for higher spins ...

  6. Finger spin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_spin

    The stock ball for a right-handed finger spinner has a clockwise component of spin as well as a component of top spin. The stock ball for a left-handed finger spinner rotates the anticlockwise as seen by the bowler. For some finger spinners the index and middle fingers do a lot of work, snapping, to impart spin on the ball.

The bowlers with the second- and fourth-highest number of wickets in the history of Test cricket, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble, respectively, were leg spinners.
